They’ve got to go head to head with the NFL at the beginning of the NFL system. Playing after the SuperBowl nobody is going to watch.
I think if I’m reading that correctly, the new league will start (start) the week AFTER the Superbowl.
Yes?
I would watch anything instead of basketball, which I never turn on.
I would watch croquet over basketball.
If they went head to head at the beginning of the season that mean competing with the NFL AND the NCAA in football, and also the end of the baseball season. Nobody would watch them then either.
The fact is these leagues are born dead. I watched one XFL game the last time around out of morbid curiosity. And I barely made it through the whole game, the talent just wasn’t there.
